LazyMouse turns your iPhone into a trackpad for the computer next to you. Pair once by scanning a code. After that, the pad reconnects on its own whenever you are on the same Wi-Fi. It has no account, and nothing goes through the cloud: your phone talks straight to your computer. THE PAD Drag to move the cursor. Tap to click, two-finger tap to right-click, two-finger drag to scroll. Double-tap and drag, or hold, to select and move things. Movement is smoothed so a slow Wi-Fi moment does not make the cursor stutter. KEYBOARD AND VOLUME Type on the phone and it appears on the computer, with shortcuts for copy, paste, undo, arrows and the modifier keys. Volume and mute are under your thumb on the edge of the pad. SEE THE SCREEN Watch your computer's screen on your phone, zoom in, and expand it to full screen sideways, with the computer's sound. Switch on touch mode to click on the picture directly, and pinch and drag to move around it. FILES AND CLIPBOARD Send photos, videos and files to the computer, fetch files it offers, and move copied text between the two. Nothing is copied unless you press the button. PRIVATE No account, no analytics, no ads. Everything stays on your network. REQUIRES the LazyMouse app on your Windows 10 or later computer, on the same Wi-Fi network. Try the demo on the first screen to see the pad without a computer.
